An Explanation rs Given by Colonel Dor

ST.. LOUIS, April 24.-The Republican
Washington correspondent again referring
to the presidential denomination matter,
gives the following: A story has come to
the correspondent of the Republican TO-
night significantly confrmatory of the
conversation between the President and his
senatorial visitor. This story is to the
effect that the President had quite recently
prepared it to be made public setting forth
his views in regard to the second term in
plain words and unqualiiedly declaring he
would not be q candidate for re election.
Yielding to the earnest counsels OF his
friends, he consented, however, to withhold
the letter for the present at least, if not
wholly abandon his intention of giving it
to the public. This story is told on the
AUTHORITY OF COLONEL DeRsHEIMER.
of New York, who was in Washington a
few days ago. He told several of his
friends, while here, Immediately after com.
ing from the White House. he had been
shown draft OF letter. such as has been
already characterized. and his advice was
asked regarding the policy of such publi-
cation. He said the letter referred atsome
length to the opposition
OF A CERTAIN ELEMENT
of the Democratic party to the reelection
of Cleveland, and the chance that this
might defeat the ticket. After referring to
this well.known factor in the existing stu.
alton, Colonel Dorsheimer says the Presi-
dent went on in his letter to say that he
deemed it wise, in view of these circum-
stances, to withdraw his name from all
consideration in connection with the nomi-
nation. He announced in
UNEQUIvoCAL TERMS
that he was not a candidate, and sug-
gested that some other leader, who could
the united support of the whole
party, be selected as the standard bearer
in 1888. Col. Dorsheimer stated he at
once protested against any public use OF
the letter as proposed. He told the Presi-
dent there was no need for him to adopt
this step now, whatever might prove to
be wise hereafter. He urged the President
to abandon the idea for the present at
at any rate, and finally induced him to
yield to his persuasions.

Republican Senators Sat Up0n-They

ALBANY, April 23.-The prolonged politi-
cal struggle between the Democratic Cover
nor and the Republican Senate relating to
the appointment of railroad commission
er eliminated to-day in scene OF excite
ment in the Senate which seems likely to
result in the presentation OF
ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
against Lieut.-Gov. Jones. Upon the an
nouncement that Governor Hill was about
to send in a message Republican member
moved that the Senate adjourn until Mon
day. spite OF opposition from tbs Dem
ocrats the motion was forced to vote.
When the call ofthe roll was half concluded,
the Governr's private secretary appeared
with message which was passeU to Lieut.
Gov. Jones, who occupied the chair. A
Republican member took the floor and in
sisted on the roll being called for adjourn
ment. The chair
RULED HIM OUT OF ORDER
and the member denounced the ruling of
the Lieutenant Governor as revolutionary.
An immense uproar ensued. The Lieuten-
finally read the message him
self. When the reading was finished Mr..
Vedder said the action OF the presiding Off
Ger was an outrage and disgrace and it
was the duty Of the people of the State OF
New York to impeach him. The Lieutenant
before nnOuncing the result OF
the vote on the motion to adjourn, sought
to explain his action, but the Republicans
refused to hear him and left the chamber.

Gambling in California's Early Days.

There was a Freach woman who
played the violin, receiving 800 day
therefor; and as women were so scarce
in those days, whenever she left the
saloon to go out on the street every
saloon around the square was emptied
to get look at her. In these saloons
there were piles of gold, both in coin
and in sacks of gold dust, that would
put some of our commercial banks of the
present day to the blush, and long tables
that had their croupiers ready to rake
in or pay out as fast as the cards were
turned off.
Among other noted players was a
Judge at that time, who made it point
every evening to go around from place
to place and make high play. Upon en-
tering with his attendant, who carried
the sack, he would first sit down at a
table and bar off every other player;
tfaen set his time of play at limit, say
twenty minutes or half an hour, the
stake from $40, 900 to $50, coo, with the
bank. Meantime, to keep the crowd
that would be in at the time, which
would number from 800 up to near 1000,
he always asked them all to take drink,
which meant % cents head for the bar !;
and if he won he paid for the drinks; if
he lost, the bank had them to pay for.

Fishing for a Cows end.

''Thcre is great excitement on the
place when COW loses her cud," said the
old farmer ''The boys run as fast as
they can for the COW doctor, and we all
turn to and get things ready for him.
The COW stands with her head down and
neck stretched out, and is altogether the
most woe-begone animal you ever saw"
"What will happen if she doesn't find
the cudg"
''She will starve to death. You see a
COW has four stomachs, and what she
eats through the day goes into the first
one. And at night she brings up some
of the food from the first stomach and
masticates it. This is called chewing
the cud. After she has done this, it
goes to the second stomach and is di-
gested. If she loses her cud, she can't
pass the food from the first stomach to
the second, and is bound to starve.
When the doctor arrives he slaps the
cows sides, twists her tail and looks in
her mouth. Then he calls for piece of
salt ccdish and puts it in her mouth.
If that fails to bring the cud he rubs her
throat and calls for slippery elm. He
puts wad of it into her jaws and tries
to get her to chew. That failing, he
tries a bunch of grass and wad of will
low leaves. If all fail, live frog is
brought and started down the cows
throat. This never fails. The cow
gives heave when the frog tickles her
windpipc, and up come frog and cud."

Killing the Last Few Elk.

Some one has recently been killing
elk in Kern county. There is in Cali
fornia only one little band of these no.
BILE animals left, and they pasture among
the cattle in the range west of Bakers
field. At one time, not many years ago,
they were more numerous in this val
ley than cattle now are, but, like the
American buffalo. they have been al
most exterminated by sportsmen during
the past twenty-five years. Tho game
laws of the state prohibit the killing of
elk at any time, and parties near where
the few remaining are accustomed to
range have used every endeavor to pre-
vent their destruction.-[V Visalia Call

Windmills and Pumps.

As we have frequently stated during
the past year great deal can be done,
not only in the drier regions but in many
other rain supplied states to escape the
consequences of severe droughts, such as
have recently prevailed in Northern and
Central Illinois and more or less in ad-
jacent territories. Some time sgo we
measured the discharge of water from
pump in we'll twenty feet deep,
driven by a medium windmill. With
only gentle breeze this amounted to
twenty-one quarts per minute, equal to
about 80, 900 quarts or 1900 gallons per
day. With larger windmill and pump
and stronger Wind the amount of water
flow would be greatly increased. If
we suppose such a pump as the
above to average as much during the
year the amount of water would reach
2,737, 500 gallons. If caught in an east
ly made reservoir and allowing one-third
of the water to be evaporated, there
would still be great abundance for all
farm stock during the dry season and
enough more to supply the lack of rain
fall upon quite little plot during the
few weeks it is needed. Thus, for ex-
ample, suppose we allow half of the
water to be lost by evaporation and in
its use by animals, the other half Il $685.

deep over fifty acres or five inches deep
over ten acres, which would often save
crop. This amount is equal to 1884,
967 cubic feet and would be held in a
reservoir or little lake only ten rods
square and not quite seven feet deep.
These calculations are merely given for
illustration of what may be done.

" What Is Friendship Z"

I've been reading, oh friend! whose earnest
eyes
Would search my spirit through,
The tale of dreamer who well replied
To the question asked by you.
And ponder it well; for the fable
A subtle meaning bears,
To guide through lifes temptations,
And show thee its hidden snares.
Where the polar star looks coldly down
On the land Of the eternal SHOWS,
Meath the glittcring icebergs ceaseless
frown
The "Esperito Sancto" grows,
Each leaf of exquisite beauty
By ice kings gems embossed;
Each leaf, and branch, and petal
Are formed Of glistening frost.
Mid the dazzling stiffness of Arctic days,
A phantom flower it CLEANS
In the pallid sunlights frozen rays,
Like symbol of death and dreams.
Shoulda shadow fall DER its whiteness,
Or the sunbeams warmer grow,
1t folds its filmy petals
And vanishes into the snow.
And one who would pluck this enchanted
flower,
Or gaze on its beauty frail,
Must have hands as clean and heart as pure
As the Knight of the Holy Grail.
Do you see, oh, friend, the meaning
or this fable I've told to you.
That he who would hope for friendship
Must, himself, be pure and true.
'Tis a flower that will droop meath passions
glow,
In darkness it fades away,
For the blossom of friendship will only grow
In the calm, fair light of day.
Let your life be free and noble,
As your heart is leal and true,
And the exquisite flower of friendship
Will always bloom for you.

The Camel.

Riding camels in the Soudan and
Egypt and all camels in India are ridden
or led by cord attached to little piece
of wood inserted in q hole made in one
of the nostrils, but the Arabs do not
thus use baggage camels. They are
loaded while hobbled by having one
knee bent and the foot tied up to the
shoulder, but en- route they are allowed
to run loose, and, being very gregari-
Gus, they keep well together, feeding as
they walk off trees, if there are any, if
not off the more tender shoots of the
wiry grass, which is in Arabic halfa and
in western languages esparto; or off
more succulent shrub, which contains
much sap, and which, not being a grass
at all, but of sort of coral
line formation, is therefore called
camel grass. The camel has use
that is very little heard of. He is avail
able for food as well as to supply the
raw material of ralment. He is too
costly to be killed except on occasions
when "a fatted calf is required for
family festivity, but accidents will hap
pen even to camels, and in spite of the
Mosaic declaration that they are unclean
because they divide not the hoof, it is
not wholly deemed misfortune in an
encampment when one of them ''comes
to grief.n If he is not too old, and
therefore altogether rank, the greater
part of him is eaten; but camers hump
is one of the dishes over which there is
most smacking of the lips and subse-
quently expressive rubbing of the alb

A MAGNIFICENT Gift.

The Nizam of Hyderabad has offered
splendid gift to the Indian govern
ment. Impressed with the idea that the
expenditure of the Indian empire goes
on growing, mainly in consequence of
outlay on the defences of the frontier,
and wishing to resist the aggressive de-
signs of Russia, his highness, "as the
oldest ally of the English in India"
proposes to give e2OO, 900 year for
three years toward strengthening the
northern border. His highness, we
imagine, has an eye to investment, and
has an intention of asking once more for
the restitution OF the Berars, which, he
thinks, would be greatly facilitated by
display of practical loyalty. There is
no reason to doubt, however, that he
is heartily opposed to Russian inva-
on--though, his people being sheeahs,
he is not exactly the grand Mussulman
prince the Times chooses to believe
and it is neither generous nor wise to
inquire too closely into motives. The
gift is great one, and we trust will be
accepted with warm thanks, and en-
ployed to construct forts to protect our
second line of defence, the Indus river.
If those forts can float and move, so
much the better. We are too slow in
commencing this work, probably because
the ruling soldiers are all in favor of ad-
vancing beyond our proper boul d Try,
seizing Candahar, and fighting the great
battle within Afghanistan itself. That
might be the wiser course if our business
in India were not governing; but the
viceroys have to think of sparing English
soldiers, and keeping the burden on the
treasury within reasonable bounds.
